Blackberry 'Baby Cakes®'
ID: #639259
Description
Baby Cakes® is a dwarf, thornless variety that produces large, sweet-tasting berries in July, and will sometimes produce a second crop that ripens in September. Blackberries are self-fertile, and only one variety is needed to produce fruit. Baby Cakes® is a primocane fruiting variety, which means it produces berries at the tips of first-year canes in the fall and again the next spring. Prune the dried-up tips that have produced your fall crop in late winter, and then prune the rest of the cane back after the berries ripen in midsummer. Blackberries grow best in full to part sun with slightly acidic, moist, fertile, well-drained soil. Despite their compact size suiting container growing, we do not recommend overwintering blackberries in containers as they are unlikely to survive in our zone. They are hardy in our zone when planted directly in the ground.

Jade Plant
Contact for price
Jade Plant is a popular, easy-to-grow succulent that is great for beginners and experienced houseplant owners. It features thick, succulent green leaves and, once mature, can produce small white flowers if given enough light. As it grows, it develops a thick, woody trunk and can be trained into a bonsai specimen. Jade grows best in bright, direct to indirect light, though it should be slowly acclimated to direct sunlight. Plant it in a small pot with well-draining cactus/succulent soil and water only when the soil has fully dried out; remember to reduce your watering during winter.

The Variegated Heartleaf Hoya features thick, heart-shaped green foliage with creamy-yellow margins. With good light and time, it can produce a round cluster of fragrant white-to-pink flowers with pink centers. Hoyas are vining plants and will trail over the sides of pots or can be trained to grow up a trellis or other support. Hoyas grow best in bright, indirect light with a well-draining potting mix. Hoyas with thicker leaves should be watered only once the soil has mostly dried out, while those with thinner leaves can be watered once the top few inches of soil have dried. We have found that the Heartleaf Hoyas are sensitive to overwatering and should have their soil fully dried out before being watered again.
